Gluta usitata (Anacardiaceae) is a lacquer tree and create lacquer varnish can be utilized in many aspects especially art and culture. Recently, its harvest faced troublesome and yields of varnish tree are decreased. Consequently, the conservation of plant has reduced, and this plant has become extinct. The experiment was chosen to use plant tissue culture technique to preserve and increase this plant. The experiment was compared the effect of Woody Plant Medium (WPM) combined with different concentration of antioxidants were 2, 4, 6, 8 g/L Poly Vinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP), 20, 30, 40, 60 mg/L ascorbic acid or citric acid and absorbents of 1, 2, 3 g/L activated charcoal to reduce browning of phenolic compound in the explants. The results showed that 2 g/L activated charcoal gave the lowest of browning on seed and medium (about 0.9±0.2 points). The addition of 40 mg/L ascorbic acid was generated the highest of shoots (approximately 1.88±0.4 shoots/seed) after culture for 4 weeks. in vitro propagation of seed germination on WPM supplemented with 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 mg/L 6-Benzyl amino purine (BAP), Thidiazuron (TDZ) and meta-Topolin (mT) 3% sucrose and 0.2% phytagel was efficiently resulted. Other result revealed that 1.5 mg/L BAP, 2 mg/L TDZ and 2 mg/L mT gave the highest seed germination at 1.6±0.2, 1.8±0.2 and 1.6±0.2 shoots/seed, respectively. The best of plant growth regulators for seed germination was 2 mg/L of TDZ after 6 weeks.
